Discussion

CGI::Session Multiple Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities

CGI::Session is prone to multiple information-disclosure vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure in the application to properly set file permissions.

An attacker can exploit these issues to retrieve the session data of an arbitrary user.

If an attacker can retrieve an administrative user's credentials, the attacker may then compromise the affected application. Other attacks are also possible.
